Hi all,

how do you update R on Debian lenny? I have tried to re-install r-base after adding deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran/ to my backport lists but it keeps installing R 2.7.1.

What should I be doing to get the lattest R release? I need it to install a package (plyr)

Thanks,

 David.
R in Lenny will always be 2.7; the updates will only pick up major bug
fixes.

My understanding is that the newest R is available for Lenny on
backports; I'm not familiar with lenny-cran.

There will be some issues combining new R's with the R packages
available in lenny; the help system has changed.

Hi,

you need to substitute <favorite-cran-mirror> by some actual CRAN mirror like 
in

	deb http://cran.fr.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran/

and add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list.

Kind regards,

Johannes
